A recent study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, of trials involving 16,000 people found all exercise lowered high blood pressure. But wall squats and planking led to larger falls than aerobic exercise and come out top no1!
✨These ISOMETRIC EXERCISES are designed to build strength without moving muscles or joints.
😃The recommendation is 2 minutes of wall sits/squats, or holding the plank position four times with two minutes' rest in between, three times a week.
💪🏼This is a perfect EXERCISE SNACK but 2 mins is tough even for me, so as with everything I recommend starting off small.
✨In last Friday’s Feel Good Workout with my MIL on my KZbin CHANNEL I give some Plank MODIFICATION ideas and suggest starting with holds of even 10 seconds and building up.
✨Check out the full session for more details and SHARE with your loved ones to get them involved too! 😃
BP is a key indicator of HEALTH. High blood pressure puts strain on the blood vessels, heart and other organs, increasing the risk of conditions such as heart attacks and strokes.
We know that CV disease risk increases for women in midlife and MENOPAUSE so give it a go! South Asians are also likely to suffer from high BP.
Over-40s are advised to have their blood pressure checked every five years.
Let me know you get on 👍🏼
Wall sits are perfect to do ANYWHERE ! As you can see (even in a dress in a busy part of central London!)
😃Is this type of SHORT helpful? Let me know!
